Connecting asks what arises when different things share a space — what traces they leave on one another.

The still lifes bring together what does not naturally belong — pomegranates, different fruits, different generations in an abstract space. Each object carries its own weight, its own trace. They do not dissolve into one another. Something unnameable holds them in the same room.

The abstract landscapes carry echoes of Cubism — not as quotation, but as method: layers laid over one another, forms from the underpainting reappear changed in the next layer. I have been here before — the place leaves its trace in the painting, past and present overlap.
